Same here. I used to live in Jacksonville Florida and routinely used the I-95 to get around the city. What's funny is I'd always envision "warping" when getting on the highway, because inner city traffic speed is ~45 mph, and then it'd instantly jump to 80+ mph on the highway.

80mph+? Instant reckless driving in Virginia, anywhere in the state.

Florida is not a close minded Commonwealth unlike my home state...

The limit is up to 80 in some western states (Utah, Idaho, etc).

In Nevada and I believe other states before the 55 MPH speed limit was instituted, "reasonable and proper" was interpreted pretty broadly and might have exceeded 80 under good conditions.

85 in parts of Texas Hill Country too.

Those wide empty roads going 55 feels like 30mph.

At least in Idaho, the speed limit is routinely flouted up to 90mph.
